WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

i)::This fl'eezer must be properly installed and

located in accordance with tile Installation

Instructions before it is used.

i)::Do not allow children to climb, st;rod or hang

on the shelves in the ti'eeze_: They could damage

tile fi'eezer and seriously iqiure thelnselves.

::__Mtei"your ti'eezer is in operation, do not touch

the cold suHi_ces, particularly when hands are

damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely

cold sun'aces.

_'_Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

\:q)o_s and liquids in the viciniQ' ot this or any

other appliance.

i)::Unplug tile ti'eezer before cleaning, making

repairs or changing the light bulb.

NOTE: We stronglyrecommendthat anyservicingbe

performedbyaquaddedindMdua/.

::_¢Turning tile control to tile OFFposifion does

not remove power to the light circuit on models

with interior light.

i)::Do not refi'eeze ti'ozen foods which have

thawed complemly:

i)::The maximum amount of t0od your fi'eezer is

designed to ti'eeze at one time is approximately

3 pounds (1.5 kg) per cubic t0ot (ff ti'eezer

capaci£:. In no_mal position, your freezer's

temperature control will maintain sttflidentlv

low temperatures in tile ti'eezer to ti'eeze

recommended quantifies ()flood.

::NCaution should be used when removing tile door

ofa fi'eeze_: Particular caution should be used

when removing the lid of a Chest freeze_; as most

DANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEFREEZER

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Child entraplnent and suffocation are not

problems of the past..Junked or abandoned

refi_igerato_ and ffeeze_ are still dangerous...even

if they will sit fin" "just a few days." If you are getting

rid of vom" old refl_igemtor or fl'eeze_; please tbll_m'

the instructions below to hel I) prevent accidents.

Before YouThrowAway YourOld

which trader federal law I/lÂlStbe removed prior

to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an

old refl_igeration product, check with the company

handling the disposal about what to do.

iJi::I,eave the shelves in place so that children may

not easiE climb inside.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against

the use of an extension cord.

However; if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutel) necessary that it be a UIAisted (in the United

States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-_ire grotmding t}pe appliance extension cord haxing a grotmding

t},l)e plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 xolts.

WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

For personal safe_ this appliance must be properly grounded.

Tile power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard 9)-prong (grounding) wall outlet

to minimize the possibiliQ' of electi'ic shock

hazard from this appliance.

Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked bv a

qualified electi'ician to make sure the outlet is

properly grounded.

If tile outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it

is your i)ei_onal responsibiliQ, and obligation to

have it replaced with a properly grounded S-prong

wall outlet.

Tile fl'eezer should always be I)lu'*ged_, into its own

indixidual electrical outlet which has a xoltage iv_dng

that matches the rating plate.

This provides tile best i)eil'om/ance and also

I)rexents oxerloading, house wii-ing, circuits which

could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.

ahmg its length or at either end.

When moving tile fl'eezer away fl'oln tile wall, be

Preparingtoinstall the freezer.

Read these instructionscompletely and carefully.

FreezerLocation

Yore" fl'eezer should be conveniently located for

day-to-day use in a dr,v, well-ventilated room.

Do not install the fl'eezer where the temperatm'e

will go below O°F or above l ] O°K because it will

not maintain proper temperatures.

Be sm'e to install yore" fl'eezer on a floor strong

enough to support it when it is flfllv loaded.

The fl'eezer must be solidly positioned on the floor

if it is to flmction at its best. Shims may be used to

accomplish this wherever the floor is too uneven.

If the place selected for the fl'eezer is damp or

moist, place 2 X 4's (51 mm X 102 ram) trader its

entire length to assm'e adequate support.
